That'll be why it's growing several times faster than cable I guess despite a smaller footprint. 
Much as though I hate to throw facts into the mix here check out http://www.adslguide.org.uk/newsarchive.asp?item=2711 - the fastest growing part of ntl's internet business is its' ADSL, and LLU is adding well over 5000 connections a week at the moment, a growth rate way in excess of either original ntl or ex-Telewest, who between them managed to add 190,000 customers in the whole of last year. It's expected that by the end of the year LLU providers will have added over 500k customers. |
Theres a difference between the newboys and an established player in the market thats been there for over a decade. In relative terms, the cablecos have been offering the same thing for years now, so you can't expect a magic number of signups just out of nowhere.
Besides theres also one thing in having x so many customers sign up, and actually be able to cope, ala Bulldog.
